Fishing With The Spinning Grub

By Gregory Thomas


Anyone who ever played hooky from school in order to spend a day at the lake remembers the time taken to dig up worms. This was not always possible to do on the day prior to a fishing trip because, if you were skipping school to do it, your parents just might ask about the bucket of nightcrawlers in your room. Many people would make their own lures from colorful string known as jigs, but these days kids can buy a spinning grub from their local retailer.

Colorful threads spun around the length of a hook to create a plump-looking body was only the beginning of such a creation. The brighter the colors the better, since only bold and flashy color can be seen from deep under water. A long tail would cause the jig to wobble in the water, and this is where the real deception lies, as this wobble actually tricks any fish or other creatures nearby into believing an injured fish or insect is nearby.

The better the wobble, the greater potential for a fish to be tricked in to coming for it. Wobbling creates a disturbance in the water that fish, fowl, snakes, and even turtles might mistake for an injured insect or fish. These lake-dwellers are notorious for eating first and asking questions later, which is how we trick these animals into biting down on a hook that keeps them on our line.

Modern versions of these jigs work much the same way, only now we call them grubs. They have a longer and more rounded tail, which allows for a much greater wobble action, tricking the denisons of this habitat into believing a much larger creature has been injured than what they will be biting into. Larger fish means more food for the angler and his or her family who await their catch of the day.

The bigger the fish caught, the fewer baby fish are caught and released during the course of a day. This means that the humans can get started eating much earlier in the afternoon. The wobble of newer lures attracts larger fish, as smaller ones will avoid the indication that a larger fish is nearby because even an injured fish undergoing the death throes will be an opportunistic eater.

The lake world has inhabitants who are familiar with their realm as an eat or be eaten environment. Every member of this environment is prepared to eat any other citizen, given the opportunity. Each creature is on the menu, being both predator and prey in their world, making it the most terrifying of environments imaginable.

While we may be tourists who enjoy spending our leisure time fishing and swimming the lakes and rivers of our planet, we take part in their terror as predators as well. Anyone who tricks a creature onto a barbed hook is a hunter preparing to feed their village. There may be fish large enough to eat us in the world, but we can trick even the largest of them onto a boat headed for dinner.

The largest of lake predators can be fooled by the ingenuity of humans, however. Their world is a dark and perilous one, and one of those perils comes in the form of faux prey who idly float or swim by. Because fish cannot clearly see what they eat, human beings are able to trap them on hooks to be lifted from their realm and delivered to a dinner plate on the sandy beach nearby.
